Super Famicom Build

My first build using a pi. What do you think
Sorry about the poor quality of pictures.

That is a really nice and clean build you got there, awesome! I created USB ports in the front because i tend to switch USB controllers from time to time depending what console i'm playing. But with the USB ports in the back, you get to maintain the original ports in the front, so the console keeps its authentic appearance. Very nice!!
Am i seeing correctly you have a switch mounted underneath the cartridge eject mechanism? What functions do the three switches (power, reset en eject) exactly fulfill? I'm curious...

@Morph-X The reset button puts the Pi into a safe state to remove power.
The power button just removes power from the Pi.
The eject button exits the Emulators. -
I thought it would be something like that. The EJECT button for exiting the emulators is a very neat idea, might consider that for future builds.

Any reason you didn't go with the gamecon driver/pinout? So much simpler connecting 6 wires from gpio to snes controller ports. Well..unless you're using the pins for something else..heh

@Darksavior When I started the build I didn't do a lot of research and I had a USB adaptor sitting around so I used it.
If I was to do it again, I would do it through the GPIO pins. -
Very nicely done. Now I'm contemplating tweaks to my own build.
